Why are these articles needed?
I write this article mostly for myself, to find out if I’m wasting my time. In fact, I am aware that my articles are not that interesting, even for me, they have little specifics, any references to what would relate to the real processes taking place in the world. For the same reason, they can not be called any scientific work, since I do not explore what is, but offer something of my own, which is new at the moment in my imagination. First of all, these articles are a kind of plan for myself, and of course a certain program of my actions for those who want to support me. Since it is obvious that such plans cannot be carried out alone, even with a lot of money. Money cannot create a real alternative political ideology; only people who share ideas and are able to communicate them or somehow implement them can do this.
In this sense, my articles can be compared to pre-election political promises, but only in contrast to the usual promises. Politics in solving current and pressing problems, my proposals, they are not intended for a wide audience, but at the same time they are large-scale and to some extent radical.
Such radicalism and globality, we can say, is my main advantage on the one hand,and on the other – a disadvantage, for the reason that the very prospect of this undertaking may seem vague. Nevertheless, after analyzing all the information available to me about the state and society, the economy and politics, and the problems in these higher spheres of human activity, I came to the conclusion that such a radical approach is inevitable.
To put it bluntly, I see a tendency towards ecological self-destruction, even if it is not so noticeable for the average person. In general, a person, like an animal, adapts to everything, and we can also gradually adapt to increasingly worse living conditions, including life in the desert, etc. to life in conditions that we see in various kinds of dystopias and post-apocalyptic films. And if you take this into account, it may seem that I am drawing a kind of utopia in my articles. But I don’t really think so. Probably, our ordinary, even not the most secure life will seem utopian to a person who lived 100-200 years ago. Here we are talking about technical progress, but I am talking about the possibility of the same social progress, the roots of which are, I am sure, in our everyday economic interaction.
I know that a large number of economists, philosophers, both socialists and more market-oriented and liberal views have written and are writing about this, but now I don’t have the time and opportunity to fit their reasoning beautifully into my narrative. One thing can be said: all of them, like me, wished the good of society by offering their solutions. I am different from many of them, because I am ready to take on the implementation of my proposed solutions. Not because I consider myself smarter, but on the contrary, I’m unlikely to be able to express my suggestions to a wide audience in such a clever or scientific and interesting way that they will capture someone so much that they want to implement them.
And to put it bluntly, in the modern world, I see the problem more in the lack of good implementations than in the lack of good ideas. So, our Laws, Constitution, Political and Economic theory, which is taught in any university, etc. are quite suitable for a good and correct organization of life. That is, we generally know how to act correctly, but there are not enough actions themselves, people who would act in this way, thereby showing an example to others.
As long as I have the scope of these articles, this is the minimum for which I have enough of my current resources, namely, my personal free time.
Obviously, this is not enough for you to consider me someone who is capable of implementing what I am writing about. But it is equally obvious that if I had not spoken about it, others would not have found out, and the project could not have been implemented.
In this case, we can hope that a good policy and our life will be organized by someone who will have the strength, means and ideas to do it. I don’t know about you, but this sounds doubtful to me, because if someone in our society has the means, then most likely they are used to taking care of themselves mostly, i.e. they will not sacrifice their comfort for the sake of someone else’s distant good. So the only option is to consider the theories of idealists like me, and together with me try to implement it, to make the world a little better.
